Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere. It seems that women are ruining sci-fi. [link]

People, I have a problem. I am searching ebay for vintage Xmas ornaments! A) It's only October B)I already have enough ornaments to trim two full-sized trees. C) Am considering putting up two trees even though I will not be here for Xmas to justify my hoard.

DW and I are also ornament hoarders. We have one big tree and another small tree that are both filled with ornaments when we decorate. Still we buy them and we can't bear to cull any of the old ones. Love them!

Yup, I'm watching that tonight! I actually came here to post that!
So for everyone having a bad day, may I present my minion's bad day: She took her car into the dealership for routine warranteed maintenance. A friend who works in sales there calls to tell her she just walked by the service bays, and the bumper is cracked. She hauls ass over there. How did the bumper get cracked? When they towed it to another bay. Why did they have to tow it? Well, it seems they cracked her engine block and it won't start now. Note, they haven't called her once. If she didn't know someone there, she still wouldn't know. THEY BROKE HER CAR. Service manager and customer service rep were conveniently out today. So she went to the owner, who had no idea this was going on. No resolution as of when I left, and the owner still hadn't called her back. Her husband (a car guy: he built some of the tricked out cars for those car-centric Vin Diesel flicks. It's what he does) had headed over to have a talk since she was still at work. Seriously?!! The poor woman. She's just laughing helplessly cause she can't quite believe it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Poor minion! S/He needs to make sure they fix everything at their expense. When the DH took his Harley in to a reputable dealer out here for a tune-up, it FELL OFF THE LIFT. Basically everything broke.

I'm pretty sure that will happen. Especially since she now needs a new engine on a 3 year old car. And I think it's a luxury make, like BMW or something.

I was wondering if minion's car might have fallen off the lift. That's crazy!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
